Project Overview

Project Bid: $37,304,851.51

Contractor: D & G Construction Inc

26th Street and Interstate 229, including the Southeastern Avenue intersection, will be reconstructed beginning in 2019. The project will be a two-year project and is jointly funded by the South Dakota Department of Transportation and the City of Sioux Falls. The project area is experiencing high crashes, long driver delays, and has outdated geometrics. The project will add a railroad overpass, add turn lanes at Southeastern Avenue and 26th Street and also 26th Street and Interstate 229 to improve travel times and safety through the area. The project will also improve pedestrian movements across the interstate. 26th Street will remain open throughout the project.
